(a) The Council, by a majority vote of its remaining members, shall fill vacancies in its own membership, including a vacancy in the office of Mayor, for the unexpired terms or until the vacancies are filled at elections as provided herein. In case no Councilmembers remain, the City Clerk, or in the City Clerk’s absence, the City Attorney shall forthwith call a special election to fill the vacancies in the Council for the unexpired terms.

(b) If a vacancy occurs before the beginning of a regular filing period for candidates for Councilmembers, and the unexpired term extends beyond the time when the terms of Councilmembers elected that year begin, then a Mayor or Councilmember for that place shall be elected at the regular election of that year to serve the rest of the unexpired term beginning at the time the terms of Councilmembers elected that year begin.
